The Daily WTF Should Be Required Reading

education-memes, computer-science-memes, real-world-coding-memes, daily-wtf-memes, curriculum-memes | ProgrammerHumor.io

College CS departments be like: "Here's how to implement a red-black tree from scratch" but won't teach you about the horrors of production code written by caffeinated developers at 2AM. The Daily WTF chronicles real-world coding disasters that no algorithm class prepares you for. Nothing says "welcome to the industry" like inheriting a codebase where someone used Excel as a database and regex to parse HTML. Academia vs reality: the eternal comedy special.

The Infamous "Idea Guy" Strikes Again

The classic "idea guy" in game development strikes again! Nothing makes actual developers run for the hills faster than someone who's done all the "hard work" of coming up with an idea while expecting you to do the trivial part of... you know... actually building the entire game. It's like saying "I've designed a rocket ship on a napkin, now all you need to do is the engineering, physics, and actually launching it into space!" Sure buddy, let me drop everything and work on your revolutionary "Flappy Bird but with zombies" concept for free.

Did The Online Schema Migration Go Smoothly?

Database Administrator's definition of "smooth migration" = server is on fire but at least one user can still log in. The rest of the team doesn't need to know about the flaming wreckage of tables and indexes above. Just smile and say "yasss" when asked if everything's fine. We'll fix it in post-production.
